THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Amid rising tensions within the Congress party, senior leader K. Muraleedharan on Sunday declared that Shashi Tharoor would no longer be invited to any party programme in Thiruvananthapuram unless he alters his stance on key national security issues.
His remarks have further exposed the widening rift between Tharoor and the party’s Kerala leadership.
Speaking to reporters, Muraleedharan said, “Till he (Tharoor) changes his stance, we will not invite him to any party programme held in Thiruvananthapuram. He is not with us, so there is no question of him boycotting an event.”
